642nm 300mW Homemade Module

This is my first laser module, I have been building personal pointers for a little while and I feel I have enough practice to get into the scanning world. I am getting ready to build a couple more modules and put them all into one projector.

This module wasn't built with space in mind, but my next ones will be. I plan on building another one with dual 650 DVD diodes and combining these two reds using PBS after both knife edged modules. I will also repeat this once more with two 12x blu-ray diodes combined with a PBS attempting to get 600mW blu-ray with a reasonably decent life on them. I am about to order a 300mW 532nm module and a 100mW 473nm so this scanner should be pretty decent when completed. All analog modulation of course.

Smoke was used in this photo session since I didn't have a tripod to mount camera and do long exposure shots.
I didn't have my L wrenches to adjust the mirrors so the beams aren't aligned. Plus those mirrors are just mock up mirrors, I will replace them with clean ones when I get them in the mail.
